AI-Assisted Content Generation: A Quick Overview

In this Tango, we'll demonstrate:

  1. An example of prompting ChatGPT to help with a project.

  2. An example of generating a presentation using Canva

  3. An example of generating text-to audio using WellSaid Labs

  4. An example of generating a presentation using Vyond

While there are several platforms that can be used to perform these tasks, this example demonstrates the use of ChatGPT, WellSaid Labs, Vyond, and Canva.

Introduction

This section demonstrates how we might prompt ChatGPT to help us generate an initial short training video on customer service basics to be used in new employee orientation. The purpose is to give the new employee some fundamental guidance for their first interactions with customers.

Use the tools below for step-by-step guidance or use the Walk Me button in Tango to have the system provide guidance while you try it out.

ChatGPT

Log in to ChatGPT (or your preferred text platform, such as Claude, Perplexity, Bing, Bard, etc.)

  1. 1. Enter your prompt

    Be as specific and detailed as possible. The more detail you provide, the more likely the output will be closer to what you are seeking and will require less editing to be able to be used.

    Don't be afraid to try different things! That is part of learning. If the prompt doesn't work for you, just refine it and try again! If you'd like to see a sample prompt, move to the next step.

    Enter your prompt

  1. 2. The systems can handle a lot of detail. Consider including expert position, verb, detail on desired output, target audience, purpose, desired format for output and so on.

    Here is an example prompt:

    As an instructional designer, develop a script, storyboard, and example of a single page point of work reference on the topic of customer service behaviors. The audience is a new employee with no prior customer service experience. The output should include three behaviors a new employee can demonstrate on their first day at work, and include examples. Output should be formatted to paste into WellSaid Labs for text to voice generation, and include a prompt to generate a short presentation in Canva that matches the storyboard and script, and a prompt to generate a short 2 minute video in Vyond.

    The systems can handle a lot of detail. Consider including expert position, verb, detail on desired output, target audience, purpose, desired format for output and so on.

  2. 3. Review the output, and use the system to refine the information if needed.

    When reviewing the output, it is clear that the prompt did not include the type of business, so the examples are generic. Here is the prompt we used to refine the outputs to be relevant for new restaurant employees: "Modify the above outputs to be relevant to employees in a restaurant setting."

    Review the output, and use the system to refine the information if needed.

  1. 4. Review the outputs, and continue to refine until it meets the needs.
